Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Unsalted butter, softened
- 0.5 cup Granulated sugar
- 1 cup Brown sugar, packed
- 2 pieces Large eggs
- 1 teaspoon Pure vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon Orange zest
- 1.75 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Baking soda
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 2 cups Old-fashioned rolled oats
- 1 cup Dried cranberries
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Add the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Stir in the vanilla extract and orange zest.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, ground cinnamon, and salt.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing just until combined.
Fold in the rolled oats and dried cranberries until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
Bake in the preheated oven for 8-10 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers may look slightly undercooked but will set as they cool.
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheets for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Serve the cookies warm or store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days. Enjoy!
